Continuity mistake: In Metropolis on the bridge, Doomsday grabs a soldier and breaks his neck and skull. In that shot, the soldier's arms are inside Doomsday's hand and his hair is a light brown or gray. But then when the shot changes as Doomsday begins to throw the soldier to the side, the soldier's arms are suddenly outside of Doomsday's hand, and his hair is now black. (00:17:10)
Superman/Doomsday (2007)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Lauren Montgomery, Brandon Vietti, Bruce Timm, Bruce W. Timm
Starring: John DiMaggio, Adam Baldwin, Anne Heche, James Marsters
Superman is revived at the Fortress of Solitude by his robot and then races back to Metropolis where he battles his misguided clone. He defeats his clone by having the Kryptonite cartridge from Lex's gun stuck to his clones chest with tar and uses his laser vision to bust it open, making a cloud of Kryptonite dust that his clone inhales. This coats his lungs with a lethal dose and he drops the Superman Memorial statue on himself, then dies in the real Superman's arms from the crushing wound and lungs coated with Kryptonite. The people of Metropolis see he is the real Superman ans he earns their trust back. Superman then revealed his identity as Clark Kent to Lois at her apartment, and the movie ends showing Lex Luthor is still alive and marveling at how it would seem that Superman can't be killed after all.
[The Superman clone takes Toyman high into the air.]
Toyman: I have rights. I have nothing to say to you.
Superman Clone: [stops in midair] How about goodbye? [Lets go of Toyman and watches him fall to his death].
Question: So how exactly did Doomsday's ship get buried so deep? On the movie the Project Apple Core workers say they discover it's "before Christ deep", but don't specify exactly how old. And they are 2 miles down at the time. Lex Luthor interprets the alien hologram as a warning and says that an alien race must have trapped Doomsday here because they could not kill it. And later the robot at the Fortress of Solitude identifies Doomsday and tells Superman what it is. I know there are several differences between the film and the comics it's based on. Are there differences in how Doomsday got there and how is it so deep?

Answer: In the comic book, Doomsday was put in a strait-jacket, strapped in metal bondage and placed in a cube like metal prison buried deep in the earth. It took him centuries just to break the bonds, then spent more centuries just punching his way out. With earthquakes, volcanoes and other natural disasters those events could shift Doomsday's prison to the surface.
